Who We Are

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work feels faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.

Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, humanity, and building things that last — not just shipping the next feature, but setting a standard for how modern teams (with humans and agents working together) think and execute.

About The Role

We’re hiring an Account Executive in San Francisco to drive new customer acquisition and expansion across our Mid-Market segment. This role is for an experienced full-cycle seller who can run structured discovery calls, deliver compelling demos, navigate technical and business stakeholders, and progress complex opportunities to close—while operating with a strong outbound mindset and high urgency.

You’ll work with buyers such as CIO, CTO, VP Product and VP Engineering, and you’ll be expected to develop strong product fluency in technical use cases (APIs, data, developer tooling, infrastructure, and AI/agentic workflows).

What You'll Achieve
  • An outbound-first mentality: proactively build net new pipeline and move quickly to create momentum within accounts.

  • Own the full sales cycle, including prospecting, discovery, solution alignment, demoing, stakeholder management, negotiation, and close.

  • Run high-quality discovery calls to uncover business outcomes and technical requirements, translating them into a clear value narrative.

  • Deliver live demos and tailored storytelling to guide customers through evaluation, including light solution design as needed (workspace architecture, permissions, rollout approach, integrations) to unblock adoption.

  • Navigate complex commercial-stage requirements (security, legal, procurement) with support from cross-functional partners.

  • Forecast accurately and operate with consistent, high-velocity execution to meet or exceed quota.

  • Partner with Solutions, Product, and Marketing to bring customer insights back to the business.

Skills You'll Need to Bring
  • 4–7+ years of closing experience in a full-cycle quota-carrying role (or adjacent role with clear closing exposure), with consistent attainment.

  • Experience selling into or working closely with technical buyer personas (e.g., CIO/CTO/VP Eng/VP Product), translating product capabilities into workflow and ROI narratives.

  • Outbound discipline, pipeline creativity and full-cycle sales capability, including discovery, demo and closing motions.

  • Demonstrated ability to run multi-threaded deals and influence across complex customer org structures

  • High agency and ownership: proactively creates momentum, solves problems, and earns trust across functions.

  • Hands-on orientation with AI: uses AI to improve personal workflow and can speak to modern AI-enabled work patterns.

  • Comfortable with ambiguity — as Notion expands across [insert region], you’ll help refine our Mid Market motion (outbound, partner, and expansion plays), build repeatable process, and bring sharp customer feedback into how we scale.

Nice To Haves
  • Experience with usage-based / consumption pricing models.

  • Prior exposure to developer tooling, APIs, data, infrastructure, or AI products.

  • Experience moving upmarket (commercial → mid-market) and demonstrating readiness for increased complexity.

Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits. The compensation offered for this role will be based on multiple factors such as location, the role’s scope and complexity, and the candidate’s experience and expertise, and may vary from the range provided below. For roles based in San Francisco or New York City, the estimated range for total on target earnings (including base salary and on target incentive pay) for this role is $180,000 - $230,000 per year.

A Note on AI

You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we’ll make it explicit in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, move faster, and build more creatively.

Equal Opportunity & Accommodations

We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our teams to reflect the wide diversity of our customers. If you’re excited about a role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed, we still encourage you to apply.

Notion is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate in hiring or any employment decision based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.
